The Alaskan town torn apart by cruise ship tourism
Juneau's residents are divided over whether to embrace the economic benefits of millions of visitors, or reclaim their town from an industry that has reshaped it.
Juneau is one of the US's most remote towns, accessible only by air or sea. The waters surrounding it are the traditional fishing grounds of Alaska's Indigenous communities. It is wedged between towering mountains and the Gastineau Channel, a dramatic vista for more than 1.5 million cruise passengers who visit annually.
Cruise ships arrive in the Gastineau Channel as parkgoers walk their dogs at Savikko Park in Juneau, Alaska, on Sept. 5, 2024. The city is grappling with the effects of mass cruise tourism, as noise, congestion, and environmental concerns clash with its economic reliance on visitors. The community is divided between those who profit from the influx of tourists and those who feel their way of life is being disrupted.
